"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous." -Navjot Singh Sidhu
Wouldn't it be cool to have the President of a company refer you? Wouldn't that cut down on time spent on your job search? Imagine introducing yourself to the company President or a high level executive. You give them your resume. The next thing you know you're getting a call for an interview.
Identify which companies where you wish to work. The next time you read an article about the CEO, President or another executive at one of your target companies, that's your window of opportunity. Maybe they received a promotion or were acknowledged or quoted in the article .
Purchase a box of blank invitation size greeting cards. Write a friendly note congratulating the executive. If you agree with what they said or accomplished in the article, then say so in your hand written note. Be genuine in what you write. End your note with "I am at your service, should XYZ company have a requirement for my skills". Insert your business card, Not Your Resume. Send it off via postal snail mail.
Repeat this process at least once a week. You're reading the newspaper everyday anyway. Why not make your reading even more worthwhile now?
